WW-Friendly Mexican Corn Dip

WW-Friendly Mexican Corn Dip

⭐ Ingredients (Serves ~6)

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen thawed)

  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (keeps points low)

  • ¼ cup light mayonnaise (or swap for more Greek yogurt to lower points further)

  • ¼ cup reduced-fat feta or cotija cheese, crumbled

  • 1 jalapeño, minced (seeded for mild)

  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • 1–2 tbsp lime juice

  • Salt + pepper to taste


🥣 Instructions

  1. Prep the corn:

    • If using canned: drain and rinse.

    • If using frozen: thaw and pat dry.

    • Optional: pan-char the corn for 3–5 minutes for that roasted “elote” flavor.

  2. Mix the dressing:
    In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, light mayo, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. Combine:
    Stir in the corn, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, and cheese.

  4. Chill:
    Let sit for 20–30 minutes so flavors meld.

  5. Serve:
    With sliced veggies, baked tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, salads, or chicken.


🌟 WW Tips + Variations

  • Lowest-point version: Use ALL Greek yogurt (no mayo) and reduced-fat feta.

  • Add extra lime and cilantro for flavor without adding points.

  • Add Tajin or a dash of hot sauce for brightness.

  • Make it a salad by adding black beans and diced bell pepper (still low-point).
